MIDWEST ANTI-AGING

Your skin is exposed to environmental elements every day. Over the years, the sun's rays, pollution, and other damaging agents can take a toll on your skin. Microdermabrasion treatment can help reduce or eliminate the wrinkles and fine lines, age spots, light acne scars, and undesired pigmentation that may appear on the skin over time. Microdermabrasion is one of those cosmetic procedures that most people have heard of, but do not really know much about. Even if your skin-obsessed friend swears by it, or you have seen it listed on spa menus, the procedure is still one of those best discussed with a dermatologist.

Microdermabrasion is a very popular, machine-assisted skin-exfoliating treatment. Microdermabrasion has advantages of low risk and rapid recovery compared to the other more invasive resurfacing methods such as dermabrasion, chemical peeling, and laser resurfacing. Since microdermabrasion produces only a very superficial depth of skin removal, it works best on improving conditions on the surface of the skin such as early photo aging (sun damage), fine lines, age spots, acne, and superficial scarring, although the results are not dramatic. Although the face is the most common area for microdermabrasion, any skin area, including neck, chest, back, and hands, can be treated. Microdermabrasion is sometimes referred to as "microderm," lunchtime peel, Parisian Peel, and Diamond Peel.

Microdermabrasion is a painless, noninvasive, skin-rejuvenation procedure using a combination of a fine abrasive tip or crystals and vacuum suction applied to the skin. There are no needles or anesthetics required for microdermabrasion. The vacuum pressure and speed are adjusted depending on the sensitivity and tolerance of the skin. Microdermabrasion is often compared to the feeling of a cat licking your face, a rough but gentle texture. Typical microdermabrasion sessions can last anywhere from five to 60 minutes. Minimal to no recovery time is required after microdermabrasion and most people immediately return to daily activity after a session. Makeup and nonirritating creams can usually be applied right after microdermabrasion. Studies have shown that microdermabrasion can even temporarily facilitate the absorption of some topical medications through increasing the permeability of the skin.

Microdermabrasion works by removing a few of the top layers of the skin called the stratum corneum. Much like brushing your teeth, microderm helps to gently remove "plaque" and skin debris. Since human skin typically regenerates at approximately 30-day intervals, skin improvement with microdermabrasion is temporary and needs to be repeated at average intervals of two to four weeks for continued improvement. Multiple treatments in combination with sunscreen, sun avoidance, and other skin-care creams yield best results.

We desire to manage our weight, still we need to eat! So what foods we should depend upon to fill up our good intentions. Weight loss management expert Dr. Ayesha Akbar, MD of the Midwest Anti Aging and MED Spa’s weight loss management program gives new hopes, says the best food for weight loss are the ones that leave us feeling full and satisfied, while overcasting our average calorie per bite!

To shed some pounds or go for a weight loss management plan, you should first figure out how many calories you should intake, and then stick to the following rundown, I bet a few of the tips will definitely surprise you!

Raw vegetables

Fruits

Similar to vegetables, fruits help you allow to make fiber abundance work to your utmost benefits. Keep your plate full with fruits and vegetables target for 5 cup equivalent servings every day, have them first and then go for the protein and starch servings

Lean proteins

Proteins takes more time for the body to dissolve and digest, helping you full and satisfied for longer hours. With the usual lean protein foods such as chicken, fish, turkey why not try some different flavor, add some Greek yogurt also you can add a fruit for real rich experience

Whole Grains

Similar to proteins, whole grain takes more time to break down and digest, and keep your stomach full for longer time. While buying read labels and seek for the cereals providing high fiber have them with skim milk and fruit and whole wheat or whole grain should be the priority among the list of pasta and baked goods

Potatoes

I know you might be thinking why potatoes!  When it comes to dieting potatoes are the ones that have earned such a bad reputation. They deserve their own category, Well, it’s not the potatoes, it’s the bacon, creamy and cheesy company they enjoy. Have some filling and nutritious topping with low calories, such as non sour cream, salsa for a fulfilling meal

Popcorn

Not a bucket of popcorn we get in the cinema loaded with hundreds of calories even without butter, but air popped and 95% fat free version can be highly recommended fiber filled snack, satisfying enough when you want a big treat to munch

Soups

A facial peel is a technique used to enhance the appearance of the skin on the face, neck or hands. The facial peel is done using a chemical solution that is applied to the skin, causing it to flake and soon peel off. The newly regenerated skin is often smooth and wrinkle free, however, as the skin is quite new and sensitive you must avoid exposures to the sun. The facial peels are categorized into three main types

Superficial or lunch time peels;

Alpha hydroxi acid is a mild acid use to permeate through the outer layer of the skin to gently exfoliate it. The treatment is to enhance the appearance of mild skin pigmentation and coarse skin surface as well as to rejuvenate the face, neck, chest and hands.

Medium facial peel

Gly colic or trichloro acetic acid is applied to peel the superficial and middle layers of skin to remove damaged skin cells. The treatment is done to clear age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, freckles and moderate skin pigmentation. The medium facial peel also benefits by smoothing coarse skin, even it is helpful in removing some precancerous skin growths

Deep peel

Tricholo acetic acid is applied to permeate deep into the middle layers of the skin to remove damaged skin cells. The treatment removes moderate to deep lines, age spots, freckles and shallow scars. Patients observe a dramatic improvement in skin appearance. The procedure is only for the face and is performed only once

Liposuction can help people enduring lymphedema- an agonizing deforming swelling of the arms, hands, legs or feet. Research was conducted using the liposuction technique to remove fat from just beneath the skin with the patients having the condition of lymphedema.

In all the cases of lymphedema there was potential improvement either it was a result of cancer treatment after effects, or naturally evolved. The results apparently were more lasting and successful than expected.

Liposuction is highly efficient at removing fat from beneath the skin, making the arms and legs smaller. Explained Dr. Ayesha Akber, MD, “The new research indicates the liposuction surgery enhances the lymphatic flow and boost your quality of life. It actually helps the stressed lymphatic system to move the fluid,” she added

The liposuction treatment is typically followed by wearing compression garments and getting a special rubdown that aids in stimulating fluid drainage

The patients who had liposuction only had the procedure on the affected areas and the results were beyond expectation. Says Dr. Ayesha Akber.

The studies indicate most of liposuction patients were women, however, Dr Asadullah explains that men also in the present times account for 10 to 15 of percent patients. The figure is raised if we count for breast reduction surgeries

She has several evidences to support why Liposuction is more effective than expected, though she mentioned that further research is still underway. One evidence is that by extracting fat, compression is taken off from the lymph nodes and blood vessels allowing them to perform better.

This is undeniably a breakthrough for introducing the potential treatment of this problem, liposuction is a modern yet unique procedure that could bring hope for such patients. Dr. Ayesha Akber, said  

She further told the procedure has been done for about 10 years in Europe and Australia and is gaining popularity among the United States, still she hopes to see a larger trial among the Population of United States

Most patients are treated as an outpatient and can go home the same day, and despite of temporary swelling, patients easily manage to carry on with their routinely activities within a couple of weeks, she added

Final thoughts
